Several very successful and highly en-
joyable literary and musical entertain
ments have taken place recently; and,
in almost every instance, the best class
of our citizens, has furnished the delight
ed audience. The first Of these, was
the Promenade Concert and Literary En-
tertainment, Of the Knights Templar
Communicates, held at Turner Hail.
The excellent music. for the occasion
was furnished by Prof. >. D. Vests or
chestra. Messrs J.W. Grant, CIV. Hen
derson, A, D. Langston, O. NJ. Wood,
and Mesdames Wood and Barnett, con-
tributed to literary feature ofthe pro-
gramme:
The fair and festival of the Oblate Sis
tiers OF Providence at st. Elizabeth Hall,
four nights of last week, Melted the Sis
tiers handsome revenue. A costly stole
voted to the most popular priest, was
won by Father Augustus Tolton:
The Rector's Aid Society of the All
Saints (Episcopal) Church, met host of
their friends at their Old Folks Concert
and Dance last Friday night. And it
was grand time sure. Father G. NJ. C.
Mason may well feel proud this event.
The Catholic knights programme per-
formed last Monday night was magnif-
icent affair. The drama 6 Married Life
at the hands of Misses M G. Mordecai,
Georgia F. Gibson, Carrie Y. Wilkinson
Mesdames Curtis, Wilson, and Messrs
Grant, Wilkinson, Dorsey, Byron, and
Vale, all was its most sanguine friends
could ask. The audience frequently
manifested It's approval BY earnest ap-
.plause. Dancing followed. Prof Har-
ris furnished splendid music. .

The readers of the APPEAL have no
doubt noticed that a few of the business
men of the Twin Cities are beginning to
use its columns to bring their business
to our notice. We hope their efforts
will not be made in vain and that all of
our readers will put themselves to a
little trouble, if necessary, to trade with
those business houses which have
placed advertisements with us. The
main support of a newspaper comes from
the advertisers, and when the business
men learn that we are willing-to use
homely phrase-to scratch the backs of
those who scratch ours, the columns of
the APPEAL will TEEN with good adver-
tisements, to our mutual advantage.

a GRAND ANNIVERSARY.

Washington, April lS.-The colored
citizens Of Washington to-day celebrated
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the
abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia. The procession was review
ed by the president. The celebration
in the evening partook Of political
character. w. G. Chase submitted reso-
lutions from the committee and on
which no action was asked, declaring
that all classes Of citizens could be pro-
tected except Negroes. Sympathy could
be expressed with Ireland, but unarmed
Negroes could be shot in the South with
impunity. The resolutions urged that
the Negro race should not divide it's vote
to it's own detriment. They contained
the following: r. ,-.... T.. -"
While we recognize in Mr.: Cleveland
certain Republican principles and
seemingly just man, he has not gone
far enough to assure to the Negro that
Negro Democrats, if there are any, shall
succeed Negro Republicans, nor has the
party which he represents assured us
that it wants the Negro vote.
Col. George w. Williams, the orator
of the evening, after arraigning the pre-
sidel2t for not interfering while outrages
we're committed in the South, said:
The Northern Negro who claims to be
q friend of his race and accepts office
from an administration that refuses to
interpose its protest against outrage and
murder forgets that his commission is
signed with the blood of murdered men
and that every dollar he receives is the
price of blood; and he will see the time
when, if he had courage enough, he
would, like Judas, 60 out and hand him
self.

Mr.. Wilkins laid down his principles
in an transformations manner, and told
his parishioners that if they didn't un-.
derstand him now they would before he
had been here great while. He pro-
posed to preach a religion ofjoy and
gladness, and not one ST sorrow and
tears. He didn't propose, he said, to
have any mourning for sirty days and
long faces when death came into the
church. He didn't believe init. Death
was only victory, and who ever heard of
putting on Grape when battle was won?

UlqLestionably the surest way for us
to comma nd the respect, and to receive
a reasonable. amount of consideration
from the 'e, Of all classes, in the

Insanity Among Royalty.

Prof. Hackel writes thus concerning
the frequency Of insanity among In,
reigninS houses: Already the famou,
alicnist, Esquirol, proved that the pro
portion OF insane members Of govern
ing families TO those OF the rest OF man
kind is sixty 10 one. II similar stats.
lies concerning the hereditary nobilit,
could be gathered. it would probably b.
found that the aristocracy, too, fur.
nlshcs a much larg n eoatingentof Of men
tai diseases than the ordinary p,op,c.
The reason lies in the unnatural! or one.
sided education, and in the artificial
s0parat on OF the privileged caste from
tic rest Of The world. This fayors the
development Of the dark sides ofhuman
nature, which are artiiically propayat.

and handed it TO the reporter to examine.
There was nothing notable about the
little bone except that one side was COM

The druggist took. one of the eve

Presently the stone began TO move as il

"That strange movement OF the eve

that it loves vinegar, and loves to swim
